Android phone and forum - help please!

[sarah707]

I have recently decided to drag myself into current century and replaced my brick with a touch screen android phone.

I am slowly learning my way round it and I find sites like Facebook pretty easy to navigate, answer questions on etc.

I am struggling with the forum though and wondered if anyone had any suggestions.

I know how to do that thing when you stretch the window so it looks bigger but then it all disappears and I can't see buttons or post properly.

Any tips guys please?

I didnt even know it was on an android phone yet...is it on the iphone yet? x

[manjay]

My tip - still do it on the laptop Or maybe that's because my eyesight is pants x

Does this mean you're going to be even more efficient than you already are Sarah?
Hugs and good luck (I bought a new iphone last weekend and am too scared to use it)

I just got an I phone...but I have to make sure I have reading glasses to hand as I can't actually ready anything...unless I hold it a couple of feet away!!

Your still holding your fingers on it so it's reducing the size again Sarah

Keep practicing and don't be scared ...unless you got thrown off like I was last night

Im posting via my phone! Once I write in the answer I click done and then 'pinch' the screen back to normal size, I'm on an iPhone yours may be different though?

I have an Android, and think that the froum could have an app?? (Richardio??)

The only access will be through your internet, you need to slide and open the creen and type then reduce, I have found holding it Horizontal easier for typing posts and Fb messages x

i read the forum through my browser and hold the phone sideways! i'm usually increasing & reducing the page to read & write, then search/look/send!

enjoy!

On my android i simply tap the screen twice and this makes it fill the screen properly and you dont lose any of the buttons. Typing can be a bit of a pain as everything is squashed slightly but i always make sure i have mine sideways and this helps.

[sarah707]

I will try sideways ... keep my fingers off it and use the little pen thing... and Ooooooo double tapping it works!!

I really want to get it sussed before I go away so I can use it rather than dragging the laptop but I get the feeling I'll still need both for a while

Thank you guys!
